Pupils takes their seats to the music.

 

Traditional tea time in England is late afternoon, when world-famous 5 o’clock tea is served.

Girl : Tea first arrived in Britain in 1662 when King Charles II married the Portuguese princess, Catherine of Braganza. Catherine brought tea chests to England as part of her wedding dowry and soon popularized the custom of taking tea at court. (слайд 3)

Boy : And many years later tea drinking became still more popular, once again, thanks to the Royal Family. Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. (слайд 4)

 Afternoon tea, because it was usually taken in the late afternoon, is also called “low tea” because it was usually taken in a sitting room or withdrawing room where low tables were placed near sofas or chairs.

 

Before starting the party let us see how well do you know the things necessary for tea ceremony.

Every pupil take a word-card and have to put it near the appropriate thing on the table

English people usually have three types of tea: black, with lemon and milk tea. How do you think which is the most popular?

Maybe as people became more in a hurry they added milk to drink more quickly. It is possible that milk was used to cool the tea down when the hostess did not want to have her guests for too long.

 Another explanation of milk in tea is the fear to break the delicate porcelain teacups . however teacups which were made of. Real porcelain does not normally break but early examples of British porcelain cups sometimes fell apart. It was safer to put some milk first to reduce the temperature of the tea so the cups did not break.

 

There are three basic types of Afternoon , or Low tea; differing by the foods served. Aside from tea,

Cream Tea offers fresh baked scones, jam and cream.

Light Tea features tea, scones and sweets.

Full Tea offers tea, savories (tiny sandwiches), scones, sweets and dessert.

Let’s watch and listen to some information about the Royal party and after that have a quiz.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4OWWMlvHrs&t=11s

 

Three pupils read the information.

There are four Royal garden parties every year- one in Scotland and three at

Buckingham Palace in London. About 10,000 people go to each party.

The government

and many different charities all help to choose the guests.

 

The party starts at three o’clock in the afternoon. Two military bands play there.

The guests listen to music and walk around the beautiful gardens. They drink tea, coffee

or apple juice and eat sandwiches and cakes. In a hot day there is an extra surprise – an

ice-cream.  At a typical garden party, the guests consume around 27,000 cups of tea,

20,000 sandwiches and 20,000 slices of cake.

 

At four o’clock, the Queen and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, join the party.

It’s a chance for the Royal Family to meet and talk to the public. Everyone has a chance

of speaking to Her Majesty and members of her family. The party finishes at six o’clock.

Questions about the Royal party.

I hope you understood everything. Read the sentences and decide if they are true or false.

Are the sentences true or false?

1. There are four Royal garden parties at Buckingham Palace in London every year.

2. The Royal Family chooses all the guests.

3. The Royal garden parties start at 3 and finish at 6 o’clock in the afternoon.

4. The guests drink tea, but they do not drink coffee or apple juice.

To sum up, I’m sure such long lasting traditions unite people, make their life bright, happy and positive. People can overcome their difficulties easily. They join different generations together. In short, the more good traditions people have the more friendly they can be.
